Hitting the Mark: Introducing State-of-the-art MRI for Precision Radiotherapy of Glioblastoma

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess the potential of advanced MRI for improved radiotherapy target delineation in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does the coverage of the recurrence volume by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the coverage by the clinical radiotherapy plan? * How does the distribution of the dose to organs at risk by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the distribution by the clinical radiotherapy plan? Participants will undergo an extended MRI-protocol prior to radiotherapy. This extended MRI-protocol includes the clinical brain tumor imaging protocol plus additional advanced MRI-sequences. Radiation treatment and patient follow-up will occur according to the clinical standard.
